FAQ's

What is DeWalt FLEXVOLT?

FLEXVOLT is DeWalt’s innovative dual-voltage battery system that automatically switches between 54V and 18V, depending on the tool it’s connected to. It provides the power of corded tools with the freedom of cordless operation.

Can I use a FLEXVOLT battery with my existing 18V XR tools?

Yes, FLEXVOLT batteries are fully backwards compatible with all DeWalt 18V XR tools, offering up to 3x longer runtime compared to standard 18V batteries.

Do I need a special charger for FLEXVOLT batteries?

No, FLEXVOLT batteries can be charged using any DeWalt XR 18V multi-voltage charger, such as the DCB1104 or DCB115.

What are the benefits of using 54V tools?

DeWalt 54V tools deliver significantly more power and performance, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications like concrete cutting, large-scale drilling, and demolition—tasks that were previously limited to corded tools.

How does the battery switch between 18V and 54V?

FLEXVOLT batteries automatically adjust voltage based on the tool they’re connected to. There’s no manual switching required—just insert the battery, and it delivers the correct power output.

Will using a FLEXVOLT battery make my 18V tools more powerful?

No, the output of your 18V tool remains the same, but the FLEXVOLT battery provides extended runtime—up to three times more than a standard 18V battery—reducing downtime on the job.

What speed settings does the DCD996 have?

The drill includes a 3-speed all-metal gearbox with variable speed ranges:

  • 0–450 RPM

  • 0–1,300 RPM

  • 0–2,000 RPM

These settings offer control for both high-torque and high-speed tasks.

More information

The DeWalt FLEXVOLT system is an innovative battery technology that delivers the power of corded tools with the freedom of cordless operation. What makes FLEXVOLT unique is its ability to automatically change voltage depending on the tool it’s connected to. A single FLEXVOLT battery can power both 54V tools for high-demand applications and 18V XR tools for everyday jobs, making it one of the most versatile power systems in the industry.

Key Benefits of FLEXVOLT:

  • Dual Voltage Compatibility: FLEXVOLT batteries switch between 54V and 18V automatically, so you can use them across a wide range of tools in DeWalt’s cordless ecosystem.

  • Maximum Performance: 54V tools are engineered for tasks that traditionally required mains power, such as heavy-duty cutting, grinding, drilling, and demolition.

  • Longer Runtime: When used in 18V XR tools, FLEXVOLT batteries provide extended runtime compared to standard 18V batteries, ideal for long or demanding tasks.

  • Backwards Compatible: FLEXVOLT batteries are fully compatible with all DeWalt 18V XR tools, so existing users can upgrade to FLEXVOLT without replacing their entire tool collection.

Integration with the DeWalt XR Range:

The DeWalt XR (eXtreme Runtime) range includes over 250 cordless tools, and FLEXVOLT batteries are a seamless addition to this platform. They give users the flexibility to run high-powered 54V tools when needed, while still supporting their existing 18V XR tools with enhanced efficiency and longer battery life.

This integration allows tradespeople to streamline their kit, reduce downtime, and take on a wider variety of tasks using a single battery system—making the FLEXVOLT platform a future-ready investment for professionals who demand power, portability, and performance.
